Tony Podesta Lobbied For Russia’s ‘Uranium One’ And Did Not File As A Foreign Agent
Daily Caller ^ | 11/5/2017 | Richard Pollack

Posted on 11/06/2017 10:14:24 AM PST by mojito

Tony Podesta’s lobbying firm, the Podesta Group, represented the Russian-owned company Uranium One during former President Barack Obama’s administration and did not register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, The Daily Caller News Foundation has determined.

Podesta collected lobbying fees of $180,000 from Uranium One, according to the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics, that discloses lobbying documents filed with Congress. The uranium company states on its web site it is a “wholly owned subsidiary” of RUSANO, the Russian State Corporation for Nuclear Energy.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller already is scrutinizing Podesta and his firm for allegedly failing to register as a lobbyist for the European Center for a Modern Ukraine, a Ukrainian government entity. His role there is tied up with former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort who was indicted on 12 counts on Oct. 30, including the failure to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

Mueller is being forced to deal with the UraniumOne deal, the deal in which the FBI under his leadership hid evidence of criminal activity from Congress. Mueller is a dirty swamp rat.

Despite numerous violators, nobody has ever been prosecuted under this law. Lobbyists treat it has a toothless threat.

Not connected to Trump so not of any interest to Mueller.

True, until Mueller threw the book at Manafort. Half of the charges against Manafort relate to his failure to register as a foreign lobbyist.

“Podesta had no Intent” - Weasel Mueller

From my read of the Manafort indictment, Mueller seems to be blaiming Manafort for hiding information from Podesta. Mueller doesn't even mention Podesta's Company's name, as if he's made the name of the company anonymous to protect the "innocent".

In my opinion, Muellers is there to protect the Deep State.

Who hired whom?

Or were they partners?

The indictment suggests to me that Manafort hired Co. A and Co. B to lobby Congress. I believe that the indictment claims that at least Co. A may not have known about the foreign Yanukovych(Putin)/Party of Regions entity, The Centre, implying that Manafort hid that information about Russian-Ukrainian lobbying from Co. A.

I could be wrong. When I get time later today, I'll have to read it again to verify that.

My superficial reading/knowledge indicates that the PG and Manafort have had multiple interactions over the years with various org chart reporting relationships not all of which may have been well documented.

Frankly I’ll fall over in a dead faint if Tony even gets a slap on the wrist.
